"All Good Things Are Wild & Free", by Heather Leopard.
My daughter loves flowers we took a trip to the flower fields. She walked through the fields pointing and picking and smelling. It was a super fun day that I'll treasure forever. To create this layout I combined a mists with water and painted in (and outside of) the lines for the flowers. Once dried, I applied gesso in a thin layer over the section I reserved for the title so that the title would pop on the page and not get lost in the sea of color. I also used the water colors to color the white alpha chipboard so that certain words would stand out. I filled in the rest of the title in with alpha stickers and then added Little Bits phrases as small details that help tell the story better. And of course I framed up my photo and added a few embellishments to tie the page together.
Supplies:
Just Add Color: Star Struck; Color Chaos: Gulf Strandz, Scallop Strandz, Treasures & Text; Amorie Chipboard Alphas: White; Ciao Chip Elements: Symbols, WhatNots; Little Bits: Orange, Ice, Gulf, Plum, White; Feathers: Pony; Enamel Dots: Ice, Milk White; Bella Bows: Milk White
“You Are Enough” card, by Stephanie Buice.
Ever run into the problem that your pattern paper just isn’t the right colors you need? Well Just Add Color was the solution I needed for my card. I needed some pink flowers to match the Punch Little Bits so I took my water colors and water brush and colored some of the flowers from the floral patterned paper in the collection. They made the perfect match! For the rest of my card I punched some little banner flagsand added some ink drops on them to incorporate the rest of my colors, now I have a cute spring card to a friend. Just Add Color made it so easy!
Supplies:
Just Add Color: Speak Freely, Star Struck, Passcode, Treasures & Text, Trinkets, Little Bits: Punch; Color Chaos: Guacamole Strandz, Pickle Juice Standz, Yellow Standz; Riley: Friendly Felines
